This handmade cabochon contains a fossilized shark tooth and beach sand.

Shark tooth cabochon wrapped in copper wire with quartz crystal chip and glass amber beads. A slight patina was added using liver of sulfur. I had planned for a more darker patina, but I used "Wrapit" copper wire from firemountaingems.com that seems to have some kinda of anti-patina coating. I was able to use sand paper to remove the coating in some areas, but the effect I was aiming for was not achieved.
